A1nAyy JAN 16.-Who Is to be United states
Senatorr That ia a question which promises 70 re-
mann nnansxered until tomorrow night when the
crcus ot the Republican members of the Legislature
mill he held Every politician is surprised that inc
-,lt ot the contest is hidden till so late an hour
There has not been such close conflict over the
Senatorship in nearly twenty years. Ihe last neck
and-neck race for the Office was made by Reuben T.
Feuton and Edwin d. Morgan in 1860. Only two
wears before that date there another noted con-
test namely. that of Roscoe Conkling with Noah
Davis The memory Of these contests is now recalled
with vie = OF getting instructions for the present
one 1t is acknowledged by the friends OF Levi r.
Morton and Waner Miller that neither has yet
suacient votes to nominate him in the caucus The
thinks that he has forty votes. The number OF
uncommited votes however, Is small, so small that
even though they we're all massed upon candidate
thew would barely be suf oient to nominate him. 1t
is against al, probabilities however. that all will be
gathered in for Then there is Congressman
Hscock with at least twelve votes. Where will these
votes gol Mr. Hiscock says that they will be cast for
him TO the last ballot. If Mr.. Hscock can hold his
twelve votes it is suspected by some politicians that
he will bring about deadlock over the Senaorshp
and the contest might last week longer. Naturally
Senator Miller and Mr.. Morton wish that Mr.. Hscock
was out OF the WY. knowing that if he was not a
candidate several votes now in his column would be
released and cone to one Or the other OF them.
There was a decorous observance Of Sunday in all
the Headquarters to-day until late in the evening.
Then the trans for New-York and along the Hudson
River and from the western par; OF the State arrived
bringing a large number OF politicians interested in
the contest Mr. Morton this morning attended
religious services at ST. Peters, Protestant Episco
pal church in State-st Senator Miller so atgued
with the labors of the week that he remained in his
rocms at the Delevan House and rested Congressman
Hiscock when asked if he had been at church, sad in
aughing manner "NO.i did not go, Tor fear OF exc
ing sectarian feeling against me-
The list Of distinguished Republicans in Albany in
creased late tonight by the Of eXGOvernor Aonzo
r. Cornell who took at the Kenmore Hotel. This
hotel of political work at present like the
Delavan House. and may have been chosen Oh that ac
count by Mr. Cornell. rumor was at once started
that Mr. Cornell had here to aid
one OF the candidates. Up TO a late hour tonight
there was no evidence that he attempting in the
slightest way influence the result of the contest Mr.
Cnrnes advice would be eagerly taken by either of the
candidates but stated, there no indication that he
has given any OF them. st his presence here
IN Albany regarded highly Interesting by every Re
publican politician and If there should be any extraor
dnary tactics employed by any of the candidates
Mr. Cornell would be suspected of having suggested
them.
